It was a fun end to the term for Barony NC Horse Care students as they held their own Horse Show with categories such as Dressage and Best Turned Out. They worked hard getting the horses to look their best and had lots of fun doing it!

Highlights from the Royal Highland Showcase this week. Despite a different format this year, it was great to be at the Royal Highland Show to meet SRUC Alumni Stephanie and James, catch up with Agriculture student John, and to watch SRUC Principal Professor Wayne Powell present the trophy for the winner of the Commercial Cattle Class, which we were proud to sponsor.🐄

SRUC Equine students meet the "Voice of the Grand National"!⠀
In a recent online meeting our NC Horsecare (Racing) students met Journalist and Broadcaster Gordon Brown. He shared his experiences from the media world in horseracing , along with some great anecdotes which kept our students amused!⠀
His best tip for getting into the Equine Media Sector..... "When one door closes, try another and never give up"⠀
The meeting was facilitated by our tutor Jennifer Fitzpatrick, and friend of SRUC Eleanor Boden, from the Scottish Racing Academy, our partner on this course.⠀
Our image shows Gordon and Eleanor in discussion along with ex Jockey Emma Sayer, who is now an assistant trainer at a racing yard. ⠀

Kristyna Andrlova studies Garden Design at SRUC in

Kristyna Andrlova studies Garden Design at SRUC in Edinburgh. For British Flower Week we asked Kristyna what her favourite flower is, she says "Leucanthemum vulgare known as oxeye daisy is my favourite wildflower. Perhaps because it reminds me of my childhood in countryside or because it is just wonderful. Such a pretty flower that welcomes summer, lasts forever in a vase and needs so very little to grow happily year after year. Now I'm also starting to notice how amazing is this beauty in terms of design and planting schemes and I just cannot imagine a meadow without it." #BritishFlowerWeek

Liam Thorpe from Duns in the Scottish Borders is about to complete his first year on the HND Environmental Management course at SRUC Edinburgh. Liam chose the course based on his interest in biology and geography and aspirations to work towards mitigating impacts of climate change and/or contribute to the conservation of species. The modules described in the course descriptor seemed to align well with his interests and also framed them in new and exciting contexts. Find out more about the Environmental Management course, visit the SRUC website.⠀

Thanks to Plantsmanship student Becky Cross for sharing this photo of her at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh with lots of Meconopsis, also known as Himalayan poppies. The iconically beautiful Meconopsis could soon be threatened in their native habitat as climate change pushes them to ever smaller mountain sanctuaries.
